First I wanted to create a black and white card. I had already the papers ready and started to colour up the image. Then I had the inspiration that this adorable fairy called 'Flutters' from the Terra Bidlespachers Art Collection at Sweet Pea Stamps have to wear a bit of pink as well. And so it was.

I distressed the vellum paper with white felt flowers on with some pink Distress Inks. And I found those pink edges on my stack as well. And so this card was born. The papers are all from local stores, and so the ribbon as well. The flowers I used are from Wild Orchid.

You can find this fabulous stamp here on plate 103 together with tree more gorgeous images. 'Flutters' is available as single stamp as well.

Over at Crafts and Me Challengeswe have a big change! We are now going to run the challenges weekly and we also have a brand new digital team too! I got the big honour to be one of the Dynamite Digi team as I already posted few days ago. We are hosting this week and the Rockin Rubbah team will be hosting next week.

For our challenge just to get us warmed up we'd like to see

ANYTHING GOES

anything handmade papercrafted at all. We'll be showcasing some of the fantastic digital stamps available at Crafts & Me for your inspiration, you can of course use anything but we'd also LOVE to see any of the Crafts & Me range; digi or rubbah!

Crafts & Me will be sponsoring this challenge and Teresa is giving the lucky winner a £10 Voucher to spend in the store.

The challenge will close at Midnight (GMT) on Weds 30th and winners will be announced at start of next DIGI team challenge.

Here you can see my creation I did for the very first Digi Challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges. For my card I used Ladybug Love. When I made it I felt quite inspired by the carnival going on over here to that time. So I gave her an extraordinary make up and gave her an oriental touch. And... since few days I have my whole Copic Ciao collection... yay!! So you'll see some Copic coloured creations from me in future. Pop over to the challenge blog to see all the other fabulous cards the DT made.

Hi everyone, one last card for today which I want to share with you. I tried it already several times without success and will give it one last try this month... over at Whiff of Joy every second month is a call for 1 - 4 guest designers to be for two months. I would really love to be chosen for this famous Swiss stamp company. It would be a big honour for me. So here is my card I want to apply with. Katharina of Whiff of Joy is asking to create a card with those lovely selfmade flowers she is showing a tutorial here.

Well, I've been chosen for the new Digi Team over at Crafts and Me!!! How cool is that!! I am so happy and still over the moon about this.

Yesterday I was in the spotlight at the Crafts an Me blog, if you like to take a look. I wrote a bit about me and showed my first card I made for my new DT position, which I want to show you here as well. I made my card with this oh so pretty digital stamp called 'Noon'.

Hi everyone, I had to make a sympathy card as my boyfriends aunt passed away last week. Tomorrow the funeral will held. I didn't wanted to make it in black, as Valerie was so full of joie de vivre. So I chose copper as the main colour combined with some darkbrown, creme and black. The stamped rose and the sentiment is wet embossed with copper as well. The sentiment is written by hand.

It was a bit different to take a picture as the background paper with the swirls on it is glossy.
